Grue was a science fiction fanzine by Dean Grennell.

Grue featured multi colored silk screened covers and was otherwise mimeographed, using the Gestetner. First published in 1953, it began as a letter zine to keep in touch with friends, and grew from there. By issue 18, it was also a Fantasy Amateur Press Association publication. After five issues distributed by FAPA, it became a general zine for issues 23 through 29. Issue 30 marked a return to FAPA distribution for a run of over a dozen more issues.
